# Investors: the business plan > Several revenue streams on one platform that costs little to run: pay per use after the value, customisation for people and teams, the platform for other events, the agentic team deployed, data made for agents, intelligence packs, work with publishers, and licensing. Validated at Web Summit; aiming to be profitable within months. No figures until we have them. *Source: · site v0.1.463 · generated from the same content as the page, so the two cannot drift.* --- **The plan in one line: people pay because they already had value, not for value promised; on top of that, sell customisation, the platform and the team behind it, on a stack that costs very little to run.** This summit is the first edition and the first test. ## Where we start {#start} One stream first: **customisation at events**, for the teams, delegations and people who come to them, with readers paying after the value alongside. Web Summit (9 to 12 November 2026) is the first test. The platform for other events and the team, deployed, follow at the next events; workflows, data for agents, intelligence packs, publishers and licensing once those sell. ## The revenue streams {#streams} ### 1. Pay per use, after the value {#pay-per-use} Most publishing asks people to buy on future value: a subscription for what they might read. We do the opposite. A reader comes to the summit pages and gets value first: they discover talks they would have missed, where to go, who is there, something they did not know. They spend time on the site and come back. By the time they pay, a few pence a page from a starting credit, they are already glad they did, and they top up because they have seen the value. The more useful the site, the more it is used, and it pays from the first day. Original content and new forms of it are what make this grow. ([Paying after the value](https://newsroom.sgit.ai/articles/paying-after-the-value.html) sets out the reading meter, live since October 2026.) ### 2. Customisation for a person or a team {#customisation} The most powerful part. For this summit alone: the logistics of a team going (who goes where, what each will see), the preparation and the briefing before a talk and after it, a version of the site with only what one person will see, their day and their meetings. A person coming for one day gets their day. Most of this is not far from what already runs ([what works today](../what-works/index.html)); it is what we will sell first. ### 3. The platform for other events {#events} Most events do not manage their data well before, during or after. Events happen every week. The same platform, customised for each one, is the model of Dinis Cruz's other work: customised versions of open source, where the customer pays for what they use ([selling less code](https://newsroom.sgit.ai/articles/selling-less-code.html)). ### 4. The agentic team, deployed {#team} The team that runs this newsroom can be deployed for a project, an event or a body of content: its roles, its written limits, its budgets and its record come with it. ### 5. Agentic workflows, taught and installed {#workflows} Many companies want to learn how to run agentic workflows safely, and some will want to run them on this technology. We sell around that: the method, the setup and the hand-over. ### 6. Data made for agents {#data} Agents are cheaper and faster when the data comes ready for them: feeds, objects, triplets, JSON files, graph objects, already processed, with every fact sourced. Our librarian agent and the semantic knowledge graphs we are adding make the site's data exactly that. Agents that consume it save their owners money, so agents should pay us for it. ### 7. Intelligence packs {#packs} Who is who, what is happening in AI in Portugal, mapped and kept current, as a pack for someone deciding where to invest or partner, in the way security teams buy threat intelligence. ### 8. Working with publishers {#publishers} The publishing industry has to change, and if it goes our way there is work and revenue in helping existing publications, in Portugal and around the world, to run the same way. Publishers should be investing in what we do. ### 9. Licensing, and maintaining it for you {#licensing} Everything we build is open source (code Apache-2.0, text and data CC BY 4.0), and we also license it: a company that wants our technology under its own terms, inside its own walls, can have a commercial licence, and we maintain it for them. Dual licensing keeps the code free for everyone and gives companies what they need to adopt it ("You can always commercial-license or relicense everything for a customer who wants it", [open-source.sgit.ai](https://open-source.sgit.ai/)). ### And a wider market {#multilingual} Many of the site's pages are to become multilingual and multicultural as the platform matures, widening every stream above beyond Portuguese and English readers. What is on sale today is the reading top-up; the rest is designed, with proposals kept by our customers agent ([the monetisation map](https://github.com/PrompTugal/PrompTugal__News__Website/blob/dev/board/team/customers/monetisation-map.md)). Prices are published once tested. ## Why it can be profitable {#profit} - **The stack costs very little:** pages are built from data and served statically and serverless; there are no servers to run for readers. - **Agents do the repeatable work** under a person's direction, so a new edition (an event, a sector, a language) is a configuration and a team, not a newsroom of hires. - **Reuse:** every part was built before, on earlier projects, and is reused here ([how we got here](../how-we-got-here/index.html)). ## What the investment is for {#use} Development, the user experience, and paying the team to work on it; then going to market. No amount is published ([how to engage](../rules-of-engagement/index.html)). ## Validation and timeline {#timeline} - **Web Summit Lisbon (9 to 12 November 2026) validates the company.** If people use the app, find it useful and pay, investors will be interested; if not, less so. We publish what happens either way. - **Aim, in Dinis Cruz's words: profitable in the next couple of months,** then take it from there. The test comes first: whether people at Web Summit use it, come back and pay; we publish the result. The question to answer first is the market's appetite to pay, and there are events to test it on regularly. - **Grants and programmes:** My Feeds, incorporated in Portugal, will apply for grants and for investment, and is asking the Algarve's ecosystem how. ## What we will never do {#never} - **No advertising.** - **No tracking of readers:** no IP address, no cookie, no profile sold. What a reader keeps is in their own vault. - **No paying for coverage.** ## What we do not know yet {#unknown} - Revenue: none to report beyond the first top-ups. If it comes, it changes the story, and it will be here. - Which stream sells first: the summit is the test. - Costs, prices and the ask: for a conversation.
